Name: Quercus garryana / Carex geyeri Woodland Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This is a deciduous woodland association found along lower treeline in the eastern Cascades near the Columbia River gorge. These sites are generally found on slopes or ridgetops between 2000-3100 feet elevation. The existing vegetation is characterized by an open Quercus garryana layer occasionally with scattered individual Pinus ponderosa or Pseudotsuga menziesii trees. The tree canopy is mostly open and only rarely approaches being a closed stand where clones of Quercus garryana merge. Ceanothus velutinus and/or Amelanchier alnifolia may form a sparse shrub layer with only a few other shrub species. The herbaceous layer is patchy and graminoid-dominated primarily by Carex geyeri and Calamagrostis rubescens.  Accession Code: VB.CC.26660.QUERCUSGARRYANA Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
